Pros

Working at Qualcomm means working on leading edge cellular technologies. The company is located in San Diego, CA which is beautiful. Most of the large buildings have a gym and work out equipment for their employees. Employees are also encouraged to work from home if it better suits their schedule.

Cons

Qualcomm pushes its employees to meet deadlines and sometimes that means burning the midnight oil to get things done.

Pros

Great benefits, the pay is like okay. Some cool reimbursement programs and health centers on campus

Cons

Career progression and culture varies extremely depending on department. Some parts almost set you up for failure and it's difficult to gain new skills. Lots of qualcomm teams are too scared to explore new technologies and migrate to state of the art services and are comfortable in sticking with old technology for familiarity. Also, HR does nothing if a coworker makes you uncomfortable.
